Full textAbstract:
We analyze the legislation and practice of public control implementation of the work of institutions and authorities that conduct sentences. We consider the basic principles and directions of the Public Monitoring Commissions (PMC) activities, we list the problem aspects of the administrations interaction of corrections facilities (CF), mass media and public members. In addition, we study the conceptual foundations of the penal system (PS), measures of legal, organizational, informational, social and economic nature aimed at transparency and improving the conditions of serving a sentence. We ascertain that in practice there are cases in which misunderstanding and ignorance of the criminal, criminal procedural and correctional law legis-lation by members of the PMC, their inability to give an objective legal as-sessment of the behavior and actions of a particular subject (remand prisoner, convicted) and officials of administrations of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FPS of Russia) often creates prerequisites for destabilizing the work of institutions of forced detention (FD) and violating the order of serving sentences. In addition, we note that there are other unresolved tasks with the procedure for protecting the rights of convicted prisoners. Thus, we points out that to date, the issues of modernization and optimization of the security system of the CF, strengthening the material base, the formation of modern information and telecommunication infrastructures, ensuring the necessary level of social protection of the PMC employees, introducing modern technologies and technical means into practice of conduct of sentences and many others have remained unresolved.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the research in the article is the legal culture of the penal legislation as a value socio-legal phenomenon. The author identifies the features and shortcomings of the legal culture of the penal legislation on the basis of general theoretical and technicallegal analysis. A general theoretical study of the legal culture of legislation makes it possible to consider it in close connection with the system of legal values and the objectives of the legal regulation of social relations. The concept of “legal culture of the penal legislation” reflects the value slice of the functioning of the relevant branch of law. Legal technology allows you to see the inner, deep essence of the legal culture of legislation, identify existing defects and identify ways to correct them. The qualitative state of the legal culture of the penal legislation depends on the technical and legal level of perfection of legal norms and their ability to achieve social goals. Technical and legal tools of the penal legislation have a set of qualities that are due to the nature of legal technology as a technique of social and legal regulation. To increase the technical and legal level of the legal culture it is necessary to fix a coherent system of legal procedures for the execution of criminal sentences in the penal code; exclusion of certain norms that do not correspond to the existing socio-economic conditions and do not contribute to the achievement of the goal of the penal legislation. The conclusions and generalizations formulated in the article can be used in the process of preparing proposals aimed at improving the existing legal policy in the field of the execution of criminal sentences.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problems of determining the weight of postal parcels and transfers that can be sent (transferred) to convicts serving a criminal sentence of imprisonment; questions of legislative techniques for the formulation and interpretation of blanket norms, the specifics of their functioning in the law enforcement mechanism. The article provides the author‘s expert opinion on the problem of determining the weight of postal parcels and transfers for convicts serving a criminal sentence of imprisonment, which analyzes the blanket norm of Art. 91 of the Penal Code RF on determining the weight of parcels by postal rules and on the basis of taking into account economic, political and social factors in general, as well as the procedure for receiving and delivering internal registered mail, the competence of determining the maximum weight of parcels and transmissions, requirements and recommendations of international standards determining the convicts treatment in this aspect. There are proposals to change the penal legislation with a statement of Part 1 of Art. 90 of the Penal Code RF in the new edition. The materials of the article contain aspects of the concept of the draft law regulating the weight of postal parcels and transfers as well as postal parcels.

Full textAbstract:
International law standards of building a social state and guaranteeing each person a decent life make it necessary to develop, at the level of Russian legislation, an institute of social support for low-income ex-convicts as part of the program of their social rehabilitation after release from a penal institution. The author analyzes the essence of social rehabilitation as a legal institution, the evolution of legal regulation of social rehabilitation methods in the Russian penitentiary practice. The institute of social rehabilitation of convicts released after serving their sentences is inter-agency in its essence; it is aimed at the identification and solution of the whole complex of social and economic problems of those inmates who potentially fall into the category of the poor (or who could become low-income citizens after release). It is also aimed at providing not only psychological, but also material social support to ensure their right to a decent life, reduce their risk of falling into the category of low-income (poor) people and help their overall social adaptation after release. The effectiveness of social rehabilitation measures determines if a convict chooses the law-abiding or the criminal model of behavior after release, determines their legal consciousness and, in the end, influences the level of repeat crimes. The author singles out and analyzes the contents of social rehabilitation of ex-convicts after release from places of confinement. In the context of ensuring the right of a convict to a decent life after serving a sentence, the author pays special attention to such a component of social rehabilitation as assistance in finding employment and housing in compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the normative acts of the penitentiary system. The meaning of the term «social» in the collocation «social rehabilitation of convicts» is analyzed in its modern and historical aspect. The author shows the necessity of establishing an efficient state-controlled public system of social rehabilitation for persons who are released from places of incarceration in Russia. He also identifies key directions for improving the effectiveness of the penitentiary system by taking into account the humanistic values of the socio-cultural environment and the principles of international law norms when providing social support to low-income citizens who are in conflict with criminal law, as well as by overcoming their poverty and a negative attitude to them. The author presents arguments to prove the practical value of introducing new forms and methods of correctional influence on convicts that are alternative to criminal procedure coercion, of widening the scope of additional social, psychological and educational work with convicts in penitentiary legislation with the purpose of providing social rehabilitation for convicts and ensuring their right to a decent life after serving the sentence.

Full textAbstract:
The possibility of illegal movement of foreign citizens from countries of residence across state borders to the territory of the Russian Federation has led to the fact that most of them have been criminally active in recent years. Over the past three years, the rate of crimes committed by foreign citizens and stateless persons has not significantly decreased (an average decrease of 6% per year). Based on an analysis of the scientific literature and law enforcement practice, the article discusses some criminal procedural, psychological and other features of interrogation of foreign citizens in criminal investigations. The following features and factors that influence the conduct of interrogations with the participation of foreign citizens are highlighted as necessary: the legal status of a foreign citizen, including the presence or absence of legal immunity or citizenship; language barrier, a complex of ethno-social, ethno-cultural and psychological features of its existence and development.

The study concerns the principles of juvenile criminal liability. The model of dealing with minors is a rational one. The rules, manner and procedure of dealing with such persons differ signifi cantly from the principles of adult responsibility. Solutions applied to minors are aimed at ensuring their proper development. They are to counteract their stigmatisation and social exclusion. The criminal liability of young perpetrators has given rise to a number of practical and theoretical controversies for many years. First of all, it should be emphasised that one legal act will hold an adult liable, and another, a minor.

Full textAbstract:
Offenders’ rehabilitation is the declared objective of the transfer of foreign offenders to their country of nationality/origin or permanent residence in Framework Decisions 2008/909/JHA and 2008/947/JHA. The driving rationale behind is that allowing foreign offenders to serve their sentence close to home is a significant instrument in improving their chances of social rehabilitation. However, there is a contradiction between what it is declared to be the main purpose of these European instruments and their other explicit and implicit objectives, mainly, promoting mutual recognition of decisions in criminal matters, reducing prison population and removing undesired aliens. This contradiction mirrors the ambiguous role played by offenders’ consent in the context of transfer procedures, and other aspects that do not entirely fit the purpose of increasing the prospects of rehabilitation of foreign offenders. This article explores the concept of social rehabilitation in both Framework Decisions from the viewpoint that its mention as the main rationale for transfer procedures is one important step towards a more humane model of judicial cooperation in the European Union (EU) area of freedom, security and justice. After an in-depth analysis of the aims underlying the adoption of both instruments, this article contributes to the idea that effectiveness of judicial cooperation in criminal matters, in the case of the EU, and the interest in reducing prison population and getting rid of unwanted foreign offenders, in the case of the issuing member states, are the true governing criteria of transfer procedures. There is a clear risk that social rehabilitation can be used deceptively or as an excuse to effectively deport foreign offenders, in particular where consent is not a requirement. This conclusion situates both Framework Decisions two steps back from their point of origin, the Council of Europe conventions on the matter.

Full textAbstract:
Citizenship rights is a legal term which has several definitions in diverse social and ideological schools; in some cultures its political and social aspects are emphasized more and terms such as nationality and voting right are mentioned and there is no theoretical agreement on it. But generally it can be said that citizenship rights are a collection of legislations and laws intended to protect human personality and dignity in all judicial-political and social fields and a citizen enjoys citizenship rights through living in a special geographical region and by virtue of the relationship existing between he/she and the ruling government. Based on this approach citizenship rights branching out the basic laws of every country, lay a responsibility upon both the citizen and the government and are also entry into force and performance guaranteed such as observing privacy, environment protection and so on.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Ambidextrous states can grasp citizens with both the welfare/support-oriented left hand and the punishment/control-oriented right hand. When people go to prison in such contexts, they may simultaneously face punishment and welfare interventions. Based on interviews with six women serving prison sentences in Norway for violence against their own children, this article discusses certain aspects of the prison experience in welfare-state prisons. Their criminal sentences, and the associated stigma and feelings of shame, weighed heavily on these women, but they eventually felt the state’s welfare-oriented left hand was tighter and more punitive than the right hand. This article describes their experiences and strategies in coping with the challenges they faced as prisoners in an ambidextrous state.

Full textAbstract:
This scientific article is intended to shed light on the theoretical aspects of the prevention of offenses of persons on probation, to identify existing problems in this area and to develop scientific and theoretical proposals for their solution. The legal foundations and scientific and theoretical description of probation, social significance, the circle of persons subject to probation, prevention of offenses of those sentenced to imprisonment, mitigation of punishment, parole. The indicators of criminal cases considered by the country's criminal courts, the number and types of crimes committed by convicts, their causes, statistics of persons released from places of detention and replaced by milder sentences have been studied. In order to increase the effectiveness of the prevention of offenses by persons on probation, the need to study the social status of a person undergoing probation, identify and eliminate his mental and physical problems is emphasized.

Full textAbstract:
It is now over twenty years since the criminal trials of two women caught the attention of the British media. Sandra Craddock (later Smith) and Christine English both raised a successful defence of diminished responsibility based on premenstrual syndrome to a murder charge. In these cases the Court of Appeal apparently determined that PMS is a factor that can limit criminal responsibility. Although this thesis concentrates on the situation as it exists in English law, many of its conclusions are equally relevant to other legal systems, particularly those in common law jurisdictions.The issues that are likely to arise in a criminal trial in which a defendant wishes to base a substantive defence on premenstrual syndrome can be condensed into five central questions: (i) Does premenstrual syndrome exist at all? (ii) If so, does the defendant suffer from the condition? (iii) Did PMS cause or contribute to the defendant's actions? (iv) If the answer to (iii) is yes, should the act be excused? (v) If so, under what category of excuse? This thesis will discuss the way in which these questions might best be approached. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates current sentencing practices relating to the diverse, complex and emotionally laden phenomenon of child sexual abuse. It focuses on relevant legislative provisions, on case law and on an empirical study conducted amongst regional court magistrates. Trends, developments and problems are analysed and possible solutions to the main problems identified are investigated. The thesis concludes with proposed guidelines regarding the sentencing process in child sexual abuse cases. Such guidelines address general and specific principles, the use of victim impact statements, the increased recognition and use of behavioural science in the sentencing phase with regard to both the victim and the offender, and relevant aggravating and mitigating factors. The guidelines are an attempt to give some structure to the current haphazard approach adopted by the courts with regard to harm experienced by the victim. They are also aimed at assisting experts to provide more effective and reliable pre-sentence reports. Further, the thesis attempts to provide clarity concerning the factors that are considered to be aggravating or mitigating in the offence category, child sexual abuse, as well as with regard to the weight that should be attached to them. In addition, recommendations are made for the purpose of possible law reform and further research in relation to the regulation of judicial discretion through the introduction of formal sentencing guidelines, victim impact statements and the accommodation of behavioural science in the sentencing process pertaining to sexual offenders. This proposal is based on current South African sentencing practices as reflected in the consolidation of local judgments scattered over many years in different law reports and, to some extent, on English, Canadian, Australian and American sentencing practices as researched in this study.

Thesis (M Social Work)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is concerned with children and youths in conflict with the law, who are additionally at risk of becoming or being in need of care. The study eventuated from concern for neglected children and youths from poor, disadvantaged and violent communities in the Western Cape Province, who inevitably lapsed into crime. Child and youth care, including juvenile justice, in South Africa is presently in a process of transformation, managed by the inter-ministerial committee on young people at risk. As an outcome of the transformation of the juvenile justice system, assessment centres were established at juvenile courts. Probation officers were appointed in terms of the Probation Services Act (Act 116 of 1991) to assess arrested children and youths before their first court appearance in view of a suitable awaiting trial placement and possible diversion of the criminal case. The researcher investigated how arrested children and youths, being in need of care, are managed within the criminal justice system. The research study showed that in spite of the implementation of policies and legislation to protect children and youths from detention in prison, the number of children and youths in prisons awaiting trial have steadily increased. A continuous shortage of vacancies in awaiting trial places of safety exists. It has further been established that professionals such as magistrates, prosecutors and probation officers recognize the needs of arrested children and youths who are additionally at risk of being or becoming in need of care. Factors such as the existing lack of vacancies in awaiting trial places of safety however result in children and youths not being protected in terms of care in all instances. The research study also indicated that arrested children and youths who are current subjects of the Child Care Act (Act 74 of 1983) as amended are often not effectively managed within the criminal justice system. A lack of sufficient knowledge of the said Child Care Act by especially prosecutors appears to be a contributing factor. A comprehensive criminal justice system for children and youths in South Africa is being envisaged, as contained in the draft Bill (Bill B), which will enable individualized but holistic services in respect of children and youths in conflict with the law. The role and tasks of probation officers carrying out assessments have as such become a key element in the management of arrested children and youths, as contained in the draft Bill (Bill B). Probation officers therefore playa significant role in advising the court regarding the appropriate management of arrested children and youths who are at risk of becoming or being in need of care.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het betrekking op kinders en jeudiges in botsing met die gereg, wat bykomend in gevaar is om sorgbehoewend te raak of sorgbehoewend is. Die studie het voortgevloei uit besorgdheid oor verwaarloosde kinders en jeugdiges van arm, agtergeblewe en geweldadige gemeenskappe in die Wes-Kaap Provinsie, wie noodwendig in misdaad verval het. Kinder- en jeugsorg, insluitend jeugreg in Suid-Afrika is tans in 'n proses van transformasie, wat deur die inter-ministeriële komitee vir jong persone in gevaar, bestuur word. As 'n uitkoms van die transformasie van die jeugregsisteem, is asseseringsentrums by jeughowe tot stand gebring. Proefbeamptes is in terme van die Wet op Proefdienste (Wet 116 van 1991) aangestel om gearresteerde kinders en jeugdiges te asseseer voor hulle eerste hofverskyning in die lig van 'n geskikte aanhouding terwyl verhoofafwagtend en moontlike afwending van die kriminele saak. Die navorser het ondersoek ingestel na die wyse waarop gearresteerde kinders en jeugdiges wat sorgbehoewend is, binne die kriminele jeugregstelsel hanteer word. Die navorsingstudie het getoon dat ten spyte van die implementering van beleid en wetgewing om kinders en jeugdiges van aanhouding in gevangenisse te beskerm, die hoeveelheid kinders en jeugdiges verhoorafwagtend in gevangenisse voortdurend toegeneem het. 'n Deurlopende tekort aan vakatures in plekke van veiligheid kom voor. Dit is verder vasgestel dat die behoeftes van gearresteerde kinders en jeugdiges wat bykomend in gevaar is om sorgbehoewend te raak of sorgbehoewend is, deur professionele persone soos landdroste, aanklaers en proefbeamptes erken word. Faktore soos die bestaande tekort aan vakatures in plekke van veiligheid veroorsaak egter dat kinders en jeugdiges nie ten alle tye beskerm word nie. Die navorsingstudie het ook aangedui dat gearresteerde kinders en jeugdiges wat steeds onderhewig is aan die Wet op Kindersorg (Wet 74 van 1983) soos gewysig dikwels nie doeltreffend binne die kriminele jeugregsisteem hanteer word nie. Gebrek aan voldoende kennis van die genoemde Wet op Kindersog deur veral aanklaers, blyk 'n bydraende faktor te wees. 'n Omvattende kriminele jeugregsisteem vir kinders en jeugdiges in Suid-Afrika word beoog, soos vervat in die konsep Wetsontwerp (Wetsontwerp B), wat die geleentheid vir individuele maar holistiese dienste ten opsigte van kinders en jeugdiges in botsing met die gereg sal bied. Die rol en take van proefbeamptes wat assesserings uitvoer het as sulks 'n sleutel element geword in die hantering van gearresteerde kinders en jeugdiges, soos vervat in die konsep Wetsontwerp (Wetsontwerp B). Proefbeamptes speel gevolglik 'n belangwekkende rol ten einde die hof te adviseer oor die gepaste hantering van gearresteerde kinders en jeudiges wat in gevaar is om sorgbehoewend te raak of sorgbehoewend is.

Full textAbstract:
M.A.The pre-sentence evaluation committee was an innovation of the 1980's. It is a multidisciplinary team constituted primarily to assist probation officers with their cases in making relevant recommendations on offenders to the court. The concept of the pre-sentence evaluation committee survives in the provisions of the Probation Services Act No. 116 of 1991, and the Strategic Management Plan of the Department of Welfare and Population Development, Gauteng Province. In effect, it has been discontinued in almost all of the decentralized offices of the Department of Welfare and Population Development within the Gauteng Province. The objective of this study is to determine if the pm-sentence is still relevant to probation officers who are the major stakeholders of the committee and If so what form should the committee assume to meet the needs of probation officers. It therefore falls within the program evaluation genre in terms of its purpose. The study entails a survey of fifteen social workers in the employ of the Department of Welfare and Population Development. The majority of these are dedicated probation officers. Data is captured in using a standardized open-ended interview schedule. A qualitative research design isfollowed using a framework based on the work of Strauss and Corbin (1990). Use is made of the NUD.IST computer based program to deal with the transcripts of the fifteen interviews with departmental social workers. The program assists with the treatment of the data and the establishment of hierarchies of concepts developed during the application of Strauss and Corbin's framework. Conclusions of the study are that probation officers In general recognize that the pre-sentence evaluation committee continues to have relevance in court work. That it has greatest relevance for inexperienced social workers and workers confronted with difficult cases. On the basis of the research recommendations are made for a flexible application of the concept of the pre-sentence evaluation committee and that there are additional alternatives which can be considered in addition to the pre-sentence evaluation committee.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the methodological and procedural aspects of capital litigation. Through a historical and chronological review of legal precedent and procedural changes to capital litigation, it addresses the legacy of change and highlights the era when, due to the Supreme Court decisions in Furman v. Georgia (1972) and Gregg v. Georgia (1976), a moratorium on the death penalty was issued and the constitutionality of capital punishment was under direct judicial scrutiny nationwide. Additional attention is paid to post-Gregg decisions that have transformed capital procedure, limited or expanded its scope, or changed the legal, social, or clinical criteria upon which capital decisions can be based. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the human rights issues brought up by capital punishment in the United States, as well as implications for social workers and other helping professions working within the capital context.
